House committee insists to table IEBC probe report Tuesday

Members of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) insist that they will table a probe report on issues affecting the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

JLAC says it will continue with its parallel probe on the petition seeking for the disbandment of the IEBC despite calls by members of the Joint Select Committee to have a single investigation on the electoral body.

Committee members led by Githunguri MP Njoroge Baiya and his Makadara counterpart Benson Mutura have said the committee led by Samuel Chepkonga will deliver it’s report to the National Assembly Tuesday, July 19th when MPs come back from their short recess.

Meanwhile, the Joint Parliamentary Select Committee has invited members of the public to give views on the reconstitution of the IEBC on the 25th and 26th of July at County Hall in Nairobi.

The committee led by Co-Chairs Meru Senator Kiraitu Murungi and Siaya Senator James Orengo is currently receiving views from the National Council of Churches of Kenya on the proposed disbandment of the IEBC.
